Summary

The legislation changes several sections of the Civil Practice Law and Rules. It shortens the statute of limitations for medical, dental and podiatric malpractice, caps fees for electronic record production, and creates mandatory daily fines for people who ignore subpoenas. It also clarifies what information can be demanded in personal injury, malpractice and wrongful‑death cases and allows a court‑appointed representative for a deceased defendant when no personal representative exists.
